I wouldn’t mind loosing Amici. It certainly isn’t being kept open by the cappucino it sells on the sidewalk.

I cant think of many gerritsen sidewalk cafes. Maybe Amici and the Bagel store.

Did some additional digging – if a sidewalk cafe is within the property line, then it is considered a legal use that doesn’t require a permit, so therefore places like the Ice cream place and the Chinese restaurant on Emmons are legal because they don’t put seating outside of their property line, as is Randazzo’s outdoor seating.

So for those in Gerritsen, if the seating is within the property line, you don’t need a permit!

I don’t see any 11229 listed. I guess all the businesses in Gerritsen with the tables outside are ILLEGAL.

Wow, a lot of research went into this! Great posting!

Although with the weather turning, only the enclosed ones are still operating, but I think that all those sidewalk cafes that block the sidewalks on Emmons Avenue without a permit should be fined and shut down.
